We’ve been making pasties in Cornwall for generations – we’re masters at it. Local people support their favourite pasty shop like they might do a football team. So Greggs’ plan to open its only Cornish high-street shop in Truro seems misguided at best.
I own Ann’s Pasties, which was founded 40 years ago using my gran’s pasty recipe. My gran, mum and aunt started making pasties out of the local Guildhall, opened a shop, and it all grew from there. The ingredients – from the salt to the turnips – are all sourced from within a 10-mile radius locally, with the vegetables grown in the same fields my great-great-grandmother would have used.
